The fruit has a pockmarked exterior and sweet and juicy pulp. The Geographical Indication was applied for Nagpur orange with the registrar of GIs in India, and is effective as of April 2014.[4]
Nagpur oranges blossom during the monsoon season and are ready to be harvested. The orange crop grows twice a year.
